About the webinar
The field of additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses a wide range of processes, using various printing technologies, hundreds of materials, and various resolutions and speeds. Techniques such as 3D and 4D printing allow for a patient-center approach, which can be used to create complex drug delivery devices and offer more personalized medical treatments.
Innovations in pharmaceutical development and an interdisciplinary approach can lead to new and more effective drug-delivery systems, ushering a new era of treatments to various diseases. The introduction of the fourth dimension has led to an increase in the degree of complexity and customization possibilities.
This talk will present new developments in the area by providing examples from Dr. Lamprou’s lab in the manufacturing of drug delivery systems and medical devices.
